Superb Family Game October 31, 2006 M. Pattinson (England) 29 out of 34 found this review helpful
The fun and controversy never stops with David Walliams and Matt Lucas - as Little Britain is voted the Most Popular Comedy in the National Television Awards the boys from Little Britain announced the release of Little Britain The Game on Monday 6th November - a fantastic interactive DVD Game that will provide lots of fun and laughs for all the family this Christmas - David and Matt have filmed two hours of exclusive new footage for the game where their various characters act as the quizmasters. All the favourites are there - Lou and Andy, Bubbles De Vere, Sebastian, Vicky Pollard, Dennis Waterman, Emily and Florence and of course Daffyd with his very special "Name That Gay" game.

2 Hours of new and exclusive footage from Lucas Walliams November 5, 2006 Mr. R. W. Holton (Grimsby, England) 22 out of 27 found this review helpful
Britain, Britain, Britain now arguably the greatest game ever made visually. If you have seen the Television Series and heard the Radio Series, then what a way to go ha ha!. It comes in a collector's tin which makes this original antique and not any old rubbish. If it is not then you should be collecting bins to put it into. Anyway it is great to see unadultered interactive fun not collecting dust in the world. There are over 1000 general knowledge questins and games that are entertaining. You can play in teams or with yourself. It features Name That Guy, Kenny Craig's Mysterious World, A Question of Royalty, Kids Tell Fun Quiz, Carol's Travel Quiz, Fatfighters Quiz, Guess the Feemtoon, Vicky's No But Year But Game, Charades and much, much more! If you get plenty of points you will enter a bonus round. All the rounds are random so you could see any of your best loved charactors. This message will have you having fun. If you don't belive me then buy the game and find out. I have, wow and two days before it's official release. Must go because I'm having fun interacting with the DVD player playing the game. Goodbyeeee!
Great fun.. if it worked January 6, 2007 Flindell (Uk) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Saldy I must point out there does seem to be some errors on behalf of the producers of the DVD. Certain version seem to freeze. I myself have ordered two seperate copies, to find that both froze on the last round of questions.
br /Game play however is imaginative, witty and fun. The comedy is perfect to keep you in a good mood while playing the game. You won't soon get bored of this title. A must for large families as the team option is much better than the single player.
classic September 23, 2008 CjW (England) a classic

Very disappointing...yeah, I know! February 8, 2007 Luke Fletcher (Derbyshire, England) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I got this as a present for Christmas and, to be honest, I'm disappointed with it. Like many of the other reviewers here, I have a problem with the game crashing near the end (which is, for obvious reasons, no help at all).
br /
br /As a game itself, this is painful. It's not as drawn out as the horribly slow Deal Or No Deal DVD game, but it's not fantastic either. Each question is followed by a sound bite (which takes time to load) and a video clip (which takes more time to load). The whole process is slow, annoying and breaks up the flow of gameplay. Incidentally, there's also no music except the TV show's theme which crops up only at the start and between levels (possibly at the end, I'll never know because it keeps crashing!) so the game's also deathly dull with nothing either visually or aurally stimulating.
br /
br /The rounds themselves are baffling. The main issue is in the questions. I realise these games have to be marketed towards people who aren't fans of the show, but why not do it like Red Dwarf's DVD game, Beat the Geek (wherein you get to choose the kind of question you get- general knowledge, viewer or geeky superfan)? As it is, this game is almost Little Britain free, aside from the use of the characters.
br /
br /Speaking of the characters, they quickly become very tedious. If you aren't already tired of them, you soon will be upon playing this game. There are only so many times in one minute you can stomach Carol coughing and saying "Computers says no"- within each character's level, there doesn't even seem to be any variety in the messages you get when you answer correctly (or incorrectly). Add to that, there are only so many times in a short space you can laugh at Tom Baker going "Ooh!" or making a "goodbye" joke as he does in the series.
br /
br /You can't choose the levels you play if you just want to do it for leisure- there are 15 levels (plus a bonus level with Anne that crops up), of which 7 are randomly chosen each time you play. Fact is, though, I didn't really ask for this for Christmas to answer questions on travel or food. I just wanted a fun Little Britain game. Sadly, I don't have the patience to keep trying this to see if one day I'll get lucky and see it to the end.
br /
br /My advice to you would be to avoid this game and either buy the excellent Little Britain Live Tour DVD or, if you really want a TV-based DVD game, grab Red Dwarf: Beat the Geek.
